Description

This exoskeleton is especially made for people with back problems. But of course, it can be used by anyone who needs support in lifting and carrying weights. The frame of the exoskeleton is a lumber belt, which can be put on and off very easily. Once you entered the lumber belt you can put your hands into the Thera-Bands at each sides. They will support you picking up weights. The Thera-Bands are fixed on the shoulder part of the lumber belt. The weight which usually spreads in the back and the arms will be spread more on the shoulders now. The cotton pads on the shoulder part will protect you from hurting. Depending on the weights that need to be lifted, the Thera-Bands can be easily changed to stronger or lighter ones.
